Conquer evil men by your gentle kindness, and make zealous men wonder at your goodness. Put the lover of legality to shame by your compassion. With the afflicted be afflicted in mind. Love all men, but keep distant from all men.—St. Isaac of Syria

Much love our dearest Salpy! hug, we are very thankful to have you here. May the Lord grant you many healthy, joyful and peaceful years!

Only pray for me, that God would give me both inward and outward strength, that I may not only speak, but truly will; and that I may not merely be called a Christian, but really be found to be one. St.Ignatius of Antioch.Epistle to the Romans.

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.A hasty quarrel kindles fire,and urgent strife sheds blood.If you blow on a spark, it will glow;if you spit on it, it will be put out; and both come out of your mouth

Perhaps she's observing Lent through her absence, as perhaps all of us should.

I'm not nearly that holy.

I've been "burning the candle at both ends," as the saying goes, having my hands full with both family and work. Over the last few months I've also been catching every cough and cold that is out there. Please say a prayer for me.

It helps, though, that everyone here is being so nice to me. Thanks, everyone.

Vain existence can never exist, for "unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain." (Psalm 127)

If the faith is unchanged and rock solid, then the gates of Hades never prevailed in the end.

Since I am logged in here for the first time in a long time I figured I should reply to this. Salpy, you are hands down my favorite poster on this board and you are in my top 3 as far as any christian board goes! The way you handle this board and your approach to your face is amazing. Your humble aproach to replies and your no confrontational manner if something I hope to imitate someday. Thanks for your work on this board! I don't know any Amrmanians in person, but you are a clearly an example of ripe fruit coming form that church!
